Well it has been over due for a few years already and the world has tried to embrace the fact that we’re going to be hit by a viral pandemic. But of which kind and when? Now I’m sure most people think a pandemic of pig flu, today. But can it be real? Yes it can. Humans are so weak in structure that even a cough can kill us. Letting an influenza virus into our bodies is just hell.

Now the Swine Influenza “H1N1” isn’t supposed to infect humans but somewhere, somehow two different H1N1 viruses got together, joined and made this human transmissible virus. Whew that was a long sentence. Ok back to my little scientific theory, now where there were two viruses, there is now just one. One that can infect humans. It stared in Mexico sometime before April 2, 2009 when a child was thought to have the normal flu, now it’s believe he was infected with H1N1. After 20 or so infections in Mexico, America became infected on April 17, 2009 when some children from California got infected. Today, April 29, 2009, there has been 114 laboratory confirmed cased of H1N1 infections.

Ok, now you know some history, here’s the details I’ve been able to assemble together. Swine Flu (H1N1) is normally a pig virus that affects pigs just like the human influenza affects humans, BUT it’s not really transmitted that easy. Here’s what’s supposed to happen. Pig gets sick, owner gets close, owner gets infected with flu like symptoms, and that’s all. It isn’t supposed to go from owner to wife then kids then all over the world. So what makes H1N1 so hyper? It has 3 genes in the RNA that makes it over hyper and jumps easy. It has Swine, Bird, & Human genes that allows it to infect us. Humans, like I said before, are easily infectable with the right viruses. H1N1 seems to be the right virus.

So how did it get that way? Never does it happen that fast for a virus to join with 3 genes and two strains to make a super virus in less than a few centuries. Although a virus can mutate at, sometimes, a rapid rate, it stays the same structurally. I’ve found some articles that claim H1N1 to be a lab made virus to control the population, other’s say that it does happen naturally, I’ve found one that states that America made it. Who knows? Well if it was made to infect us, only the people who got paid to make it know. Other than that no one really knows.

So how do you protect yourself? Take the same procedures you do with the Human Influenza. If you aren’t infected yet, keep your hands clean at all times, try not to travel, and stay tuned to your local news channel for updates. If you are infected, go to the doctor ASAP, take your meds, stay home, and try not to have physical contact with the outside world.

So what do I think? I think this IS the next pandemic. Millions will die. But don’t get freaked out, that’s what I think. Remember, Humans ARE overdue for this. Maybe this is our time :)

Peace out readers :)

It has been getting more and more noticeable that MySpace just topped itself out already. Everyday just seems to be the same as yesterday and tomorrow seems to more like today. What does the mean for MySpace? Nothing really, just losing a famous face like Tom’s. Although Tom is a co-founder of MySpace, he acts like the owner, admin, tech in charge, and other high powered users.

But really? Why is MySpace slacking back? Well a past measurement of MySpace users reveals why, 130 Million active users. MySpace is now number two in the world’s most popular Online Social Network. Who’s number one? MySpace’s long time rival, Facebook.

Facebook is topping out at 200 Million active users world wide placing then number one in the world and still going strong! So why is Tom moving on from the spotlight? Well no one really knows. An inside source in MySpace told MSNBC that Tom is in talks about taking a new role. Tom is being considered for a creative product role that will take him away from his day-to-day responsibilities.

But hey, here’s some light at the end of the tunnel. MySpace is still number one in the USA with 70 Million active users with Facebook trailing behind with 65 Million active users.

All in all, MySpace has become too attacked and too strict with service. Maybe that’s why MySpace has been losing users… Don’t know.

You can read more about this on MSNBC’s article here. Enjoy :)

Well I don’t have a pretty picture to display here since nearly all of them are copyrighted and they aren’t really pretty. So I’m going to get straight down to the blah blah moments :)

Are you religious? Like having fun? Well then you aren’t religious. It seems that today’s children are all going to go to hell when they pass away. Why? Because they celebrated an egg and a bunny. So what’s so wrong about that? God wants everyone to have fun… BUT putting “Him” first. Ok so that’s besides the point here. What I’m trying to bring out here is the fact that nearly all or all protestant religions say that Easter is a bad holiday. Hmm well lets go into it deeper, just a little bit :)

Easter was a holiday celebrated by God’s hated group the pagans. The word “was” is and will be used as past tense because of the fact that pagans USED to celebrate it. So Christians hate pagans because they tried to deter people from God, the Christian God. It’s kinda like you hating the family and friends that took your son, not the people or persons that did it. :)

So now where does the little bunny and egg come in? No where, pagans never celebrated either of them. So why is it a sin? Because it has been believed that the word “Easter” came from pagans, that’s all.

So is it a sin to have fun and search for little eggs and eat yummie bunny shaped chocolate candies? It never was. Because remember, God made both according to your Bible :)

This is just another attempt for religion to rule your life. Open your eyes and question before you make a decision. That’s called an informed decision. Because you inform yourself :)

Cheers and I hope all of you had a great Easter. :D

Doesn’t it seem that everyday on every news channel that has any form of alphabetical letters and numbers, you see the “War against drugs” or something of that nature is becoming more of a brain wash? Well I’m not exactly on the front lines and I don’t exactly live next to the border. But I do have friends on the other side (Mexico) and I do live 43 miles East from the US/Mexican border. So I guess you can say that I’m not really affected, but am I?

Everyday I see my former classmates dug deeper into the world of drugs, I am affected. Whenever I do travel the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, I fear for my life and the life of those around me, I am affected. Every time I cross the border that fear intensifies, I am affected.

Ratings are high and Yahoo! Messenger users that also have iPhone are eager to get ahold of “Yahoo! Messenger for iPhone.” My war with Yahoo! Messenger just got a bit uglier.

Why do I have a war right now? Because I am a Windows Vista user that used to use Yahoo! Messenger. When Yahoo! Messenger promised a version just for Windows Vista, it was the greatest thing ever for me! Yahoo! Messenger for Vista Preview was way better than the Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 BETA that still glitched way more than the Vista version. Then no more than 6 months, after Yahoo! Messenger for Vista was in the BETA stage, it was pulled away from all Vista users. That is why I have a war. :)

Now I’m sure that Macintosh is smaller than Microsoft yet Yahoo! seems to love Mac more. Better features are in Mac version’s of Yahoo! Messenger compared to the Windows’ version. But my little puny war just got a bit of a steroid boost from this news.

What is my prediction? Yahoo! Messenger can’t pull away this “app” from iPhone users because of a few factors that can or will destroy Yahoo! financially.

Yahoo! and AT&T are buddies. What do I mean by that? AT&T teamed up with Yahoo! to push out versions of software and programs that name both companies. AT&T also sells the iPhone for Mac. Now since AT&T sells the iPhone and Yahoo! is teamed up with AT&T that just makes the perfect wedding and perfect software for each other. Not only that, when you get AT&T’s DSL, they also give you “Internet Explorer for Yahoo!” “Yahoo! Messenger for AT&T” and an antivirus software that Yahoo! ALSO has. Yahoo! scratches AT&T’s back and AT&T scratches Yahoo!’s back.

My prediction, Yahoo! Messenger for iPhone isn’t going to be pulled from iPhone users like Yahoo! Messenger for Vista was for Vista users…

If you are a Vista user, be angry that Yahoo! pulled out a version that was compatible to YOUR computer. Share the love, show what you got to say in a comment below or comment on Yahoo! Messenger’s blog here.

You know, I haven’t really talked about Casey and her possible murder thingy so I’m going to unleash my pointless mind :)

I’ve watched Nancy Grace a few times every week and nearly every time, I used to see CASEY ANTHONY NEW DEVELOPMENTS! Well, last night I was laying in bed (don’t ask) and I was flipping though channels and I saw Nancy Grace talking and rudely interrupting so SHE can get HER point though (not the point) and I heard something creepy. What I heard was that Casey buried Caylee in her long time childhood hang out spot…

Here’s my rant. I think like a spokesperson said, all killers bury their victims in places they have come to know. I mean that makes sense huh? Ok if does, I’m going to get you guys confused. A friend of Casey Anthony said that Casey was desperately trying to put Caylee up for adoption. Desperately trying to give her away… Maybe Casey did give her away and maybe Casey is telling the truth. Casey is just too scared to say who she gave Caylee away to because if the po-po found out maybe Caylee would be killed. But what about the body? The body that was found in Casey’s old childhood hide out…

Well maybe Casey is telling the truth, she just doesn’t know where Caylee is. Or maybe Casey really did kill poor little innocent Caylee? Only Casey really knows the truth.

Honestly, if I were the one who was interrogating her, I’d clamp her happy ass down on a table and eat burgers in front of her… Day in and day out, letting her starve as she watched me eat myself to a clogged heart and a high blood sugar with all the Dr. Pepper’s I’d be drinking. Food torture can go a long way… That is unless she dies. But I’m willing she wouldn’t take it. Mexican food can go a LONG way too :)

If you haven’t heard by now, MySpace teamed up with Citi Bank to showcase and offer out a credit card with the MySpace logo on the front. Well as we all know, MySpace is the world’s largest online social network and for MySpace and Citi bank to team up like that it spells big troubles.

Fresh teens looking for a credit card to help manage spending and paying for it later just became more easier for them to choose. Teens will see a MySpace logo on a major credit card and get it before even looking at the APR and other nonsense alphabetical letters that mean big bills later (my opinion).

But there is “some” good news to all this. The reason why MySpace teamed up with Citi on this card is for the “Forward” campaign that helps promote recycling, using energy wisely, and more Earth friendly activities like paying online rather using paper bills and checks.
